What do the South Carolina Ku Klux Klan and two upstate New York synagogues have in common? (Besides great potlucks, heh heh!) According to a federal complaint, both were thought of as potential buyers for a "Hiroshima on a light switch" designed by a GE mechanic.

Between 1993 and early 2011, FBI agents shot 150 people, killing 70 of them. According to internal investigations by the FBI, every one of those shootings was justified.

Remember the actress with bit-parts in The Walking Dead and The Vampire Diaries who called the feds on her husband, saying that he had mailed ricin-laced letters to President Obama and Mayor Bloomberg? She was just arrested. And that's not even the craziest part.

Jill Kelley, the financially troubled Tampa woman who inadvertently tipped off authorities to David Petraeus' affair, is suing the FBI and Dept. of Defense for defamation and loss of privacy. But if her privacy was so compromised, how come we still don't know what a "Tampa socialite" is?

Why is President Obama nominating a former Bush official to head the FBI? Possibly because at 6'8", James Comey would make a good big man on the executive branch basketball team.

Ibragim Todashev, the first player in Wednesday's strange day of terrorism and then racism (ahead of Obama's big talk on terrorism today) was apparently about to sign a confession to the 2011 triple murder in Massachusetts when he "just went crazy."

A man in Orlando was shot and killed last night after being questioned by an FBI agent about his connection to Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev.

Aftab Aslam may have failed his Georgia Gwinnett College English class (twice), but he definitely earned an A in "Faking Your Own Kidnapping, Worrying the Hell Out of Your Parents, and Wasting Police Resources: 101".

FBI agents were called to the Michigan home of a Saudi student who was spotted walking around with a pressure cooker — only to learn that he was using it to bring food to his friend's house.

Fugitive cop-killer Joanne Chesimard has become the first woman on America's Most Wanted Terrorists List, joining a previously all male list of super villains. Chesimard, who also goes by the aliases "Sister-Love Chesimard" and "Joan Davis," murdered a New Jersey state trooper 40 years ago today. Chesimard busted out of prison and has lived in Cuba ever since.

A federal judge in Texas has told the FBI that they cannot "install sophisticated surveillance software" on a suspect's computer in order to spy on them.

Russia recorded a conversation between Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his mother, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, "vaguely discussing" the concept of Jihad. The conversation did not mention any specific attack on the U.S., but did discuss the possibility of Tamerlan traveling to Palestine to get involved with militant groups.

At a press conference this afternoon, Canadian police revealed they had thwarted a terrorist plot to derail a passenger train operating somewhere in the Toronto area. Calling the bust a "multi-jurisdictional" effort, one which involved both Canadian and American law-enforcement agencies, authorities with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police offered few details but said they had taken into custody two men: Chiheb Esseghaier, 30, and Raed Jaser, 35, neither of whom is a Canadian citizen.

New details about the brothers suspected of being behind the Boston Marathon have slowly trickled out today. Investigators are now focusing on a 2011 trip to Russia by the older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, where they believe he became radicalized by extremist groups in the north Caucasus region. Russia had asked the FBI to look into Tamerlan's extremist ties, but the FBI's investigation yielded nothing of note and after interviewing him, kept no tabs on him. "The F.B.I. did not find any terrorism activity, domestic or foreign," the FBI said in a statement.

Before the blast took both his legs below the knee, Jeff Bauman says that he looked into the eyes of one of the alleged bombers. According to Jeff's brother Chris:

The FBI released photo and video this afternoon of two suspects in Monday's Boston Marathon bombing, and is asking the public's help in identifying them. They're calling them "Suspect One" (dark hat) and "Suspect Two" (white hat), and believe them to be associated. You can see photos of them here, or on the FBI's site.

Following the clusterfuck that was—and continues to be!—the media's coverage of Monday's Boston Marathon bombing, the latest disaster being CNN's completely false scoop that a suspect had been arrested, the FBI is finally sick of everyone's shit. This afternoon, the federal police body released this statement, which explains that there have been no arrests and that the FBI thinks the media is a bunch of rubes:

Here's what investigators have said they know, so far, about the Boston Marathon bombings that killed three and injured 183 people on Monday: The explosive devices used were built out of conventional pressure cookers placed in nylon backpacks. What they don't know: anything else. The "range of suspects and motives remains wide open [...] Someone knows who did this," Special Agent Richard DesLauriers, the lead investigator, told reporters. "[T]he person who did this is someone's friend, neighbor, coworker or relative." The Bureau is actively soliciting photographs, tips and information; examining the bombs; and using face-recognition software in an attempt to generate leads. No one has claimed responsibility, and the "Saudi national" briefly placed in custody after the bombing (whose suspecthood was loudly touted by the New York Post and Fox) is no longer a person of interest. It will be a "long, painstaking investigation," Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick told WBUR this morning, but "every hour, every day" will get us "a little closer."

This afternoon, the FBI announced a major development in the greatest art heist in history: after two decades, they still haven't solved the case!

Over the last hundred or so years, the FBI has developed a reputation for being kind of a serious place to work. Judging from a series of newly-leaked disciplinary memos though, many of its employees are no better behaved than those of your average drug cartel.
